Outlander Casts Two Major Roles for Season 4

Though we have to wait an extra week until Claire and Jamie’s reunion plays out onscreen during this season of Outlander, the Starz series is keeping us busy with big news until then. Today, the show announced the casting of two major roles for Season 4, which started filming this week in Scotland.

Maria Doyle Kennedy will play Jamie’s aunt Jocasta Cameron, the youngest sister of his mother Ellen and uncles Dougal and Colum Mackenzie. The actress and singer-songwriter previously appeared in Orphan Black, Downton Abbey, and The Tudors.

Meanwhile, Ed Speelers will take on the sinister role of pirate and smuggler Stephen Bonnet, with whom Jamie and Claire cross paths several times during their next journey. He currently stars in Breathe alongside Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy and previously appeared in Wolf Hall, Downton Abbey, and Alice Through the Looking Glass.
